Crouching is a stealth mechanic that any Player Pirate can use by pressing Left Control, even while carrying Loot.
Functions
When crouching, the player's footsteps are quieter and their name is concealed, allowing them to sneak by any Enemies without being noticed, so long as they remain out of their line of sight. However, it also considerably reduces the player's movement speed.
Furthermore, crouching allows the player to access a variety of Disguises by holding the Emote button. Alternatively, the player may choose to crouch behind objects to hide, such as Barrels or anything part of the ship's structure.
Crouching also allows the player to enter "Hang from Ledge" locations upon ships.
In close combat, players may duck in order to dodge enemy fire, thus making them harder to hit.
